Chrissy Teigen has at-home coronavirus test ahead of surgery

Chrissy Teigen has shared a get well soon card made by her four-year-old daughter, following successful breast implant removal surgery.

On Thursday, the cookbook author updated her Instagram followers on the procedure with a photo of the card, made by Luna.

“Surgery went perfectly!” Teigen wrote in the caption. “So so so so so sore but waking up to this made it go away for half a minute at least.”

The image of the handwritten note showed one side that read “BYE BOOBIES” and also featured a red scribble and two heart shaped stickers.

On the reverse side of the card, Teigen’s daughter added: “Have fun pulling your boobies out. Love Luna.”

The presenter’s celebrity friends were quick to comment on her post about the successful surgery, with comedian Whitney Cummings asking for Teigen’s implants.

“Can I have your implants they took out since mine got recalled,” she wrote.

Actor Reese Witherspoon also commented on the photo, adding: “Kids are the best!”, while Halle Berry wrote: “OMG!” alongside a laughing emoji.

Last month, the mother-of-two confirmed she was having her breast implants removed after she shared a video of herself receiving a nasal swab for coronavirus.

“A lot of people are understandably curious (and nosey!) so I’ll just say it here: I’m getting my boobs out!” she wrote on Instagram alongside a black-and-white topless photo of herself.

“They’ve been great to me for many years but I’m just over it. I’d like to be able to zip a dress in my size, lay on my belly with pure comfort!

“Don’t worry about me,” the star shared. “All good. I’ll still have boobs, they’ll just be pure fat. Which is all a tit is in the first place. A dumb, miraculous bag of fat.”

Earlier this year, Teigen admitted that her feelings had changed towards her breast implants since having her two children.

“Then you have babies and they fill up with milk and deflate and now I am screwed,” she told Glamour magazine.

“I want them out now. If I could do one thing, it would be to have a lift.

“I think you’re supposed to replace [implants] every ten years. But when you have kids you think about [the risks] of surgery and I think, ‘This is not the way I want to die, in boob surgery’.”
